Call Samsung Careline and quote them the phone imei number. They can tell you if the phone is SME or AP or non-existant (clone)

Install Titanium backup app and start backup all your apps and data.
If you already have custom recovery (CWM)..do a full backup for your phone (Nandroid)
Install KTool app and backup your phone efs/imei.

Buy from Samsung origin retailer shop (or telco shop) is the safer way, or bring someone really known about phone and better with one having real S III unit. Also always remember don't greedy on cheaper price, nothing in world is FOC or far far cheaper than suppose price.

Some tips:
The link you show me, I can immediate tell it was clone as they is two SIM card slot, one regular, one microSIM, no manufacture will ever do such, also bear in mind no manufacture will ever do dual SIM also for high end phone. (Only those clone will ever do that).

Beside this, search more internet review and photos, especially GSMArena and PhoneArena, then you can easier rectified it was origin or clone. From the OS screen, the pull down notification is the most obvious to tell it was not origin. The status bar clock & battery icon also in wrong ICS blue color, Samsung still using green battery icon and the S III clock was in white grey.

The setting menu in origin Android look tell this was clone as well.

Also the Accuweather was the old design (from S II) also immediate tell this was not the origin.

If I don't know any better, I would think you are in politics. Why do selective quoting? You have penned more than 1 post. I quoted yours to which I replied which you intentionally or otherwise conveniently forgot. And when you are in defense mode, make sure you make factual statements lest you be found out. Your so-called cheapshots were cheap alright and most definitely unnecessary. I don't take offense to the reflection of your immaturity which is far from being light hearted jibs.

I am merely trying to maintain a certain level of decorum here. Like in any environment, behavior like yours should not be condoned particularly when it was to counter an endeavoured action in response to a fault of which the proximate cause is you.

Lastly, I did not call you any names. Will never stoop to your level unless provoked. Even if I did, I would not apologize and thus do not need your forgiveness. I reiterate, get your facts correct before digging yourself a bigger sh*thole.

Whoaaa easy there tiger. Shame on me for getting found out sad.gif I merely quoted that post to show the circumstances in which I was asking for advice. I read the first post, saw that the way to check the warranty was through SMS, and because I am overseas wanted to know if I could check my warranty status online. Simple as.

This was my 2nd post, which was directed at waveweaver (who had read my first post and was helping me):

Ok thats good to know. But I forgot how to check whether my phone is registered. I remember registering it when I bought it but is there anyway to check?

You didn't read first page,  that why you cannot find it.

If as you said you read it, you will 100% find it,  unless you are blind or cannot read.

I responded to that. You do seem to know alot about my behaviour though which is commendable, even knowing how light hearted or not I was. Brownie points for you! rclxm9.gif Whilst we're talking about levels, I do think Dumbass and Smartass are about the same level? Again, I had apologized earlier directly to you but I suppose if you can't let it drop then woe to me and my shithole sad.gif

Apologies to the rest of you who are genuinely helping each other out for sidetracking the thread.

Wow, you are more political than I have envisaged you to be. Playing on everyone else's sentiments is such a damn good strategy to deploy. I learn. And capitalizing on the play of words though off tangent if one cares to analyze, will surely win hearts.

I shan't engage myself any further as politics is not a domain of mine. Let's just crane our necks to see if help will be accorded in future if similar situations arise.
